I just bought a graphic kit for the Raptor and would like to hear any tips / suggestions / advice for installing the new graphics. I know some of you have already done this and would love to hear from you!!!

Thanks,
Bart

 

i got the n-style kit and it is awesome.get a upholstry shop to put on your seat cover first. tell them you have a graphics kit to match and that it has to be very straight.clean your plastic and then wipe it down with alchol,the whole time have your graphics in front of a heater,so they will conform easier,get a heat gun or a good hairdyer to use also.put the seat on and test fit the graphics,mine had to be heated up and streched to line up,no seat cover is made perfectly,and the graphics have to be tweeked in order to get it to look right.i still have a few air bubbles to work out,a staight pen and the hair dryer will get it out if its warm outside it will help to let the quad sit out in the sun for a little while before you start. there is a product known as (sticker-on) that is suppose to make it easier, $5.00 at your local dealer,but i'm not so sure on graphics kits cause they need to stick good while your putting them on,also drain you gas tank and leave the cap off for a day or two , the fumes permeate the tank and plastic causing the adhesive not to cure.this is from my own experince. somebody else is sure to have some more tips

 

USE LOTS OF WINDEX!!! drown your plastic with windex before you go putting on your graffix. If you are having trouble putting them on, periodically spray some more windex on the plastic so it won't stick. This has no effect on how they stick to the plastic. After about an hour or two the windex will dry bonding the decal to the plastic. It also lets you slide it around and get it into position.

 

AustinL911,

Thanks for the tip, it works great! I tried to go the 'Sticker-On' route, but couldn't find any around. Tried the Windex route next and it worked.

Thanks again,
Bart

 

Did you empty your gas tank like the previous post says. That's cool because I have had problems with tint in the past. The dealer won't put them(stickers) on. This makes me a little more confident. Thanks

 

911 gets all the credit

 

why thank you....see...15 year olds aren't so dumb afterall.

 

911,

Sorry, 15 year olds are STILL dumb, I'm sure you got the tip from an adult! But thanks again, none the less!

And dstevens, we still love you anyway!
